Fun With Photos

[speedneeder]

My nephews went to see the Harry Potter premier the other night.
They asked me to take some pictures of them and their friends.

First my kids had to get in on the fun.


Then my nephews and their friends.


I know there are some unfavorable reflections and the background is not good. It was kind of a spur of the moment thing. I have very little experience with multiple subjects, and zero with 6! I thought I would share some fun photos that I took with my family and friends. Not bad IMO.

I took these with my canon 50mm 1.8 which has a really annoying tendancy to front focus!

What a fun group of young people! Your kiddos and pooch are cute too. Great photo, great memories.

Thanks Mary or Lucy
Sometimes I think too much about getting things 'right', though in this case if nothing else I captured the fun of the moment.

I'm just the opposite... I try to capture the fun or the moment and should spend more time thinking it through.

Mary, I'm thinking you have it right

Mary, I'm thinking you have it right

I may have the capturing memories and moments right... but... I wish I had a bit more technical quality while capturing them. I'm working on it.

I made a print of the second shot and all the dark on the bottom looks even more muddied

Brian, these images made me smile. You have captured some beautiful unrehearsed moments. Treasure these times, for they will pass all too quickly.

But all their faces, expressions and hand gestures aren't dark so they can't be muddied ~ and those things make the photo, so it's... perfect!

Good points Marie and Mary, thank you
